At least a ho might take a shower now and then. :P If she wants to be some high-class entertainment, anyway.
And what do we make of a skanky ho? :(

I'll never forget, back in the days when I was in the closet, I dated a girl and her last name was skank. :laugh:
I remember thinking when I was introduced to her; "oh, that's unfortunate."

Same.

Well that was quite a tangent!
So, back on the topic of the corona virus, there seems to be an uptick now. How are your communities dealing with it? Are shutdowns coming back?
And what about this concept of the "herd immunity"? Do you think people should just get the virus and then get over it? Are there lasting ill effects?
What is more important, keeping cases down or economic recovery?

Aotearoa/New Zealand is proving you can do both. I am thankful everyday for living here. We have not had a case in the South Island since April. There was a scare late August in our largest city, Auckland and that city was isolated and put into Level 3 lockdown, the rest of us went back to Level 2. It is now two weeks since any new community cases in Auckland. They are now at level 2 and we are back in Level 1 which means no restrictions except our borders. I am going to the Theatre tonight and having dinner in a nearby Italian restaurant beforehand. We are asked to keep a record of where we go and generally use an app on our phone for that. Meanwhile there are signs the economy is recovering except for Tourism obviously which is a big part of our economy.
I was not able to go overseas this year and am not sure if I ever will again except to Australia. I am organising a week away with friends on Stewart Island in November.
Our only cases are people returning from overseas who are either citizens or permanent residents. They must stay in managed isolation for 14 days. Yesterday there were 12 new cases in managed isolation, 10 flew in from India a few days ago, 1 from the USA and 1 from the Phillipines. They were immediately moved to an even stricter isolation facility.
I read somewhere yesterday (I think in the Australian news) about the long term effects felt by young sportspeople in the UK who have had it and today there is an article about a resurgence in Sweden where the economy has not done so well despite their lax restrictions.

Have found the article for those who think it is just like a case of the flu, not for many people even the young and fit
